Writers' Houses and the Making of Memory

The writer's house is a popular tourist destination, but has never been the object of a systematic analysis. This book offers an analysis of what such houses are about and the ways they function. Because the book discusses many houses in various moments in history, it is able to offer persuasive evidence on a) how these houses are perceived by the authors who construct them, b) how this changes over time, c) how they become sites of remembrance and develop as such over time, d) what kind of remembrance practices they attract and why, e) in what ways they differ from other heritage tourism attractions.Hendrix, Harald is the author of 'Writers' Houses and the Making of Memory ', published 2007 under ISBN 9780415957427 and ISBN 0415957427.
